In a LCR series circuit, the potential difference between the terminals of the inductance is 60 V between the terminals of the capacitor is 30 V and that across the resistance is 40 V. Then, supply voltage will be equal to
50 V
70 V
130 V
10 V
A choke is preferred to a resistance for limiting current in AC circuit because
choke is cheap
there is no wastage of power
choke is compact in size
choke is a good absorber of heat
B.
there is no wastage of power
In an AC circuit, the coil of high inductance and negligible resistance used to control current, is called the choke coil. The power factor of such a coil is given by
As R << ωL, cos Φ is very small. Thus, the power absorbed by the coil is very small. The only loss of energy is due to hysteresis in the iron core, which is much less than the loss of energy in the resistance that can also reduce the current if placed instead of the choke coil.
An electric bulb has a rated power of 50 W at 100 V. If it is used on an AC source 200 V, 50 Hz, a choke has to be used in series with it. This choke should have an inductance of

A current of 5 A is flowing at 220 V in the primary coil of a transformer. If the voltage produced in the secondary coil is 2200 V and 50% of power is lost, then the current in secondary will be

For a series LCR circuit at resonance, the statement which is not true is
Peak energy stored by a capacitor = peak energy stored by an inductor.
Average power = apparent power
Wattless current is zero.
